: Koli National Park is located in northern Karelia on the western shore of Lake Pielinen. Park is managed by Finnish Forest research Institute and it covers almost 3000 hectares. The parks purpose is to protect the national landscape o Koli and old growth forests on the foot hills, as well as to maintain plant communities created by slash-and-burn agriculture.
Kolis hills are the remnants of the ancient Karelidic mountain chain formed almost 2000 million years ago as continental plates collided, causing thick sandstone strata to become metamorphosed and folded.
Ukko-Koli, the highest point in the chain, and also in South Finland, rises 347m above sea level and 253m above Lake Pielinen. The scenery around Koli is considered to be some of the most beautiful in Finland.
